Sometimes it can be hard being a diabetic and trying to find food with taste that meets your diabetic limitations. I've gathered a few Mexican recipes I hope you will find tasty. All are low carb and low sodium. Spicy...

Look I know the Rams have had their struggles and are coming off of a season that they ended with a 10 game losing streak. But shouldn't there be some sort of excitement for a team that has been overhauled? So many things that...

pattiurlvd I know for sure they should never have made Torry feel uncomfortable enough to want to be traded. Losing Holt was detrimental to our offense. Jackson can't do it alone. But hey, maybe this week. Holt didn't even seem confident that his new team could win...

You know I was excited before the first game with a new coaching staff, new front office personnel, but....alas my team has now lost 12 in a row, starting with the 10 they lost in 2008. It's just downright depressing! What are...

pattiurlvd Yep my/your Rams and my hubby's Chiefs. Misery love company I suppose. With both teams sharing the basement with the possibility that Missouri might become the first state with multiple teams that may end up with a combined record of 0-16. Ouch!

Purgatory is actually another misunderstood Catholic doctrine. It's not considered a spiritual jail or hell with parole. And Catholics don't teach that everyone goes to purgatory. The Church actually believes that many people are...

Last night our priest gave a wonderful homily centered around the time when Christ asked his disciples "Who do people say that I am?" and "Who do you say that I am?" and left us with homework assignment, he does that a lot. He...

pattiurlvd I agree with you 100%. We as a society could learn a lot from the animals around us.

Adoration is restricted exclusively for God. But saints and other people may be asked to pray for you. When a Catholic makes their petition known to a saint all they are doing is simply asking the saint to pray for them. It isn't...

pattiurlvd Actually a form of it was mentioned in the Bible. When Christ died on the cross it was recorded that the earth opened up and released the souls of the ancient saints, ie: Moses, Abraham, etc. The souls of the ancient saints were taken up to heaven when Christ...

I know there are all sorts of ways to pray. I am interested in your favorite form of prayer. Mine would be sitting alone in church in silence, sometimes it feels like he just comes right there next to me and sits down with me....

pattiurlvd Actually our priest tells us to do exactly what you do as one of the ways to pray. He tells us that silent prayer is a very powerful form of prayer.

The unemployment rate in the country is around 9% but Oregon, specifically Portland, is at an all time high with 12.7%! And right now at this moment my husband and I are both part of that 12.7% and that can make life tough. But...

pattiurlvd Which is exactly what we are trying to do here in Oregon. I don't understand though, why you would come to a place with such a high unemployment rate. Are they just not well informed?

I was at a party a week or so ago, and a group on the verandah somehow got onto a discussion on AIDS. The normal moralistic lot got started on gay men and their unnatural behaviour, and when someone pointed out that it wasn't just...

pattiurlvd I don't think that it's particularly their religion that has brought them so much hate, I think it's more that they tend to misinterpret the word of God. Or translate it to suit their own self-centered needs and religion does not teach people to be...

pattiurlvd Sounds lovely. Kind of similar to when we as Catholics sit and recite all the prayers related to our rosary.

I have had a couple. I have had my gallbladder removed, sinus surgery, and my last was a c-section to deliver my youngest. Anyone else?

pattiurlvd A partial hysterectomy is called an oopharectomy which means they took an ovary and not the uterus. Been there on that along with 2 c-sections, appendix, removal of a tumor on my finger and 5 ankle surgeries.

I have a book about preventing diabetes and a couple of magazines that tell you how to reverse or never get it in the first place, but they are from the States. I am a little confused about the terms. I am Canadian and here we use...

pattiurlvd It's not that you can reverse diabetes, because you can't. Once a diabetic always a diabetic. What you can do though is manage to keep it down closer to the "normal" range. Just recently my doctor said I was doing so well that she wanted me to stop the...
